This traditional snow crystal, Stellar Dendrite ty This traditional snow crystal, Stellar Dendrite type, was photographed January 22nd, 2021. I love all the detail in the center. Especially the dice-like markings in the area surrounding the central hexagon. Canon EOS 5D mkIII, Canon MP-E65mm Macro lens.

This isolated real snow crystal is a plate with se This isolated real snow crystal is a plate with sector extensions. A large central plate with triangular "cutouts" between the branches. Lots going on in the center; a nice star shape in multiple hexagons resembling a ship's helm. This crystal is very symmetrical. Even the air bubbles in the central part enclosing the triangular cutouts are symmetrical and appear in pairs.

Today I am posting a rather large snow crystal. A Today I am posting a rather large snow crystal. A Fernlike Stellar Dendrite. It has the usual  six branches, and the upper branch has two addittional branch like growths. Making this intricate snow crystal look even more interesting. I realize that Instagram is far from perfect for vertical images, but I think this is what this crystal looks best in, so here it is. Background colours are warm and happy.... I think we can all use some warmth and hapiness right now.
